Pair of Vintage Metal pre-Columbian Style Masks - Inca StyleThese very handsome masks were found at the Indian Market in Lima, Peru in the 1970's. Size: Left: 8 H x 6½ W - Right: 7 H x 6½ W Condition: Very good. Please note that the copper colored metal is dulled by patina - not shiny as in the photo. The photo is brightened by the lighting. I believe these could be polished if so desired. The right one is slightly bent at the top right. Probably could be straightened if so desired. They are in the condition that I found them in with somewhat more patina. I found them in the Indian Market Place in Lima, Peru in the 1970's. There is a ring attached to each for hanging.
Weight: ¾ lb. for both.
